1-3 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1-3 Downey St in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by David Becker, was constructed in 1904 and features three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major upgrades including the installation of two solar PV systems in November 2020 (one rated at 2.905 kW and the other at 3.32 kW), and a completed upper unit remodel in 2014 that included kitchen and bathroom renovations with associated electrical and plumbing work.

Historical records show previous substantial work including a horizontal addition (1998), reroofing (1997), and brick footing replacement (1996). A building complaint from 2012 regarding open plumbing vents in the attic space and illegal laundry was promptly addressed and marked as not active. The property's recent activity history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance with city regulations, though there have been several 311 calls in the past few years, primarily related to parking issues, including sidewalk parking incidents in 2023 and a noise complaint in November 2024.

The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including street space and sidewalk repairs in 2008. Of note, there were multiple permit renewals and modifications between 1998-2001 for a ground floor deck project, suggesting some complexity in completing that particular improvement. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both emergency repairs and planned improvements, with most recent work focusing on modernizing systems such as solar power and addressing interior spaces.
